my truck after drop (updated pics)
heres some pics of truck after i lowered it 2.5 inches in the front and 4 in the rear. stock shocks. new frontend. i also put new exhaust on it but damaged the passenger side already...truck has a rebuilt th350 now and we just put an edelbrock performer rpm with a holley 600 cfm carb on it. i had a nice polished 105 amp alternator but faulty wiring messed it up ALREADY. im pissed and hoping i can order a kit to fix it. i had to fix all the wiring goto the alternator until i get my new front lightsharness in. i also put a 275/60/15 dunlop g/t qualifier on the back of the truck. still 255/60 on the front. im going to get matching tires front and rear eventually. im sticking with a 255/60 dunlop g/t qualifier on the front when i get them. the interior is up next with new floors, sound deadner, carpet, then i get my system installed. 2 12's are going behind the seat where the gas tank used to be. oh the ghetto filler neck door and cab patch will be fixed when i save up and have the body work done to them...
and i have two reproduction goodmark doors waiting to go on after i do the floors and rockers...

no idea on the wheels. yeah havent had any problems so far. i think the lugs on that wheel might have been left loose for some reason. or it could be that that wheel had a horrible wobble to it because the front end on that side was in horrible need of replacement and might have vibrated them loose. i have all new lugs now and i make sure they are tight.

That stance looks perfect for me. Where did you get your lowering coils?.

Does it feel like you will need shock relocators or drop shocks or is it too soon to tell?. That is a huge improvemnet in that stance!

the truck is an automatic. just to let you know. the shifter is a lokar piece. i love it. once i get the boot and everything on it will look even better. the shifter is the lokar hot rod curve one. http://www.lokar.com/ i really need to get the clutch pedal out of the truck to stop confusing people

I knew it was a auto shifter. Wasn't sure if it was a Lokar though. How do you like it??

i love it. its a little bit interesting to install with the tranny still in the vehicle though... the first time we installed it we got lucky and i had a big hole in the floor from my old shifter and that made things easier.... other than that it is great!
